Guinea’s mobile‑subscription density reached 116.45 per 100 inhabitants in 2025, the highest level recorded since the series began in 1960 and placing the country at rank 103 globally. The indicator showed a flat baseline of 0.00 until the early 1990s, with the all‑time trough occurring in 1992, after which subscriptions accelerated dramatically, reflecting the continent‑wide rollout of 3G and 4G networks and the proliferation of affordable handsets. By 2025 Guinea’s coverage of 51 years mirrors the rapid expansion seen in peer economies such as Mexico (117.20) and the Philippines (117.32), suggesting that competitive pricing and regulatory reforms have been effective. The sustained upward trajectory is likely to continue as 5G deployments begin and mobile‑money services deepen financial inclusion, though any slowdown in foreign investment or a reversal in spectrum policy could temper future growth.
